Chapter 688: Just Manage Yourself; You're Everywhere

~4 min read 653 words

Fu Yan Cheng looked at her unyielding expression: "Alright, but remember, if anything happens, you must tell me immediately."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Rest assured, in a few months we'll be family; I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Hearing her say this, Fu Yan Cheng's smile was impossible to hide: "That's right."

Watching him drink a cup of honey water, she asked: "How is it? Do you feel anything?"

Fu Yan Cheng sensed within himself: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel warm all over, very comfortable."

Liu Chuxue understood; the ginseng honey was taking effect: "Since you feel it, you must brew a cup every day from now on."

The two whispered a few words; Fu Yan Cheng assured Liu Chuxue: "Rest assured, I won't give this honey to anyone else."

After a while of being affectionate, they finally turned to serious matters.

Liu Chuxue walked around the room, measuring with her feet; within moments she had a clear idea: "I'll ponder it when I return, then draw a few sketches for you; you find someone to make the furniture."

Fu Yan Cheng replied: "Fine, just follow your wishes; I'll find someone to make the furniture according to your instructions."

The two discussed and planned the general arrangement of the room, currently deliberating the details.

They heard the men of the household returning from work.

Zhang Yurong heard the commotion outside and sighed inwardly: How can I bring this up? Isn't this making things difficult for myself?

Guo Wenjing saw she seemed distracted: "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you unwell?"

Fu's mother heard her eldest daughter-in-law's words, turned to look at Zhang Yurong, and seeing her face truly looked very bad: "Enough; the work in the kitchen is nearly done. If you're unwell, go back to your room and rest for a while."

To be honest, she was truly afraid Zhang Yurong would act recklessly, cause trouble again, and ruin the fourth son's engagement.

Zhang Yurong wasn't foolish; hearing her mother-in-law's words, she understood what she meant.

She didn't want to cause trouble, but since this concerned her cousin's entire life, she had to plead on her cousin's behalf; however, she knew she must wait until the fourth son's fiancée left before raising the matter.

Fu Yan Cheng brought Liu Chuxue out.

Liu Chuxue greeted the father and his two sons in the courtyard one by one.

Fu Jinyue, leaning against her father's side, said: "Fourth Aunt, my father said you are very capable; not only are you good at abacus calculations, you also speak foreign languages, helped the soldier uncles catch bad guys, and received commendation from the factory. Is that true?"

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected her eldest brother-in-law to praise her so highly; she was about to say something when Fu Yan Cheng quickly interjected: "Of course it's true."

Seeing Liu Chuxue nod, Fu Jinyue clapped her hands: "Fourth Aunt, you are truly amazing; when I grow up, I want to be good at everything and amazing at everything."

Her childish words made everyone in the courtyard laugh.

After laughing, Fu Yanming said: "Then Jinyue must study even harder in the future; only by learning enough skills can she become someone like Fourth Aunt when she grows up."

Zhang Yurong, coming out of the kitchen, had a sudden lapse and spitefully poured cold water on the mood: "How old is she? What can she understand? Big Brother, you're spoiling her."

The faces that had been smiling instantly grew cold due to her interruption.

Fu Yanhong was furious: "Just manage yourself; why are you everywhere?"

Since the fourth sister-in-law was visiting for the first time, Fu Yanhong feared his own unreliable relative might say something else and spoil the atmosphere, so he pulled her toward the kitchen: "Come, I'll go with you to the kitchen to see if the dishes are ready and if any help is needed."
